We’ve finished Aselia’s route, which means the full game script has now been translated and edited.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of our editing staff, all of the game’s routes have already been well-polished and tested. All that remains is to make the installer and do some final internal testing before we release the patch. Due to the complicated route divergences in this game, we won’t be doing a public beta this time around. You can expect a patch release within a month.

I hope everyone enjoys playing Eien no Aselia as much as we enjoyed playing and working on it’s translation. But I have a word of caution:

When I first started playing EnA a few years ago, after hearing all the praise about it, I was a bit puzzled. In it’s first couple of scenes, graphics and sounds were of lower quality than I got used to experience in other VNs and it looked like yet another high school comedy/drama. While they fixed the sound quality in later releases and shortened the game’s prologue so the story may start with a faster pace, the graphics are still the same.

But I must say this; as I kept playing the game, I got used to those graphics and later begun to love them, even though there are still some CG’s that I can’t accept no matter what, I can honestly say that I really like this game’s graphics now. And the story… it turned out to be way better than ever I expected.

To sum it up, I recommend everyone to play this game and to keep playing it, even if initially you come to think that it wasn’t what you were expecting. As you keep going, you’ll be happily surprised realizing that it is way beyond anything that you ever hoped it to be, and find yourself unable to stop playing one more route… and one more…

Wow incredible! That much text? !!
More than 2000 to edit? Dakkodango’s editing and translating staff is just mighty…

So around a month left huh? This is going to be a long and harduous wait ^^. Still after all the work you guys have poured in this, I would have waited a year or two ! (A month is definitively better though xD).

450k words translated?? Wow!! I’ve been waiting for some time for this translation, I guess I could wait another month XD Thanks for the hard work, you guys rock!

Maybe you guys will translate Narukana as well? Truth be told I’ve already finished that game once with the Satsuki route, but I wouldn’t mind seeing the translation of it ^^ I hope Xuse would release a battle-skipping patch though, I wouldn’t want to go through all the battles again XD

H-H-H-H-HOLY SH*T.
ITS DONE.
booya, now this is going to be the longest month in my life (so far at least).
super great work to finish it as fast as you have done. especially considering the sheer amount of content this game has, and as have been said earlier other groups with more than double your staff takes MUCH longer to release vn’s with barely half the text of this one.

lol I agree with echomateria’s original post (about the graphics). I can’t help but feel annoyed every time I see the CG’s and how…odd they look. But I’m sure I’ll learn to get over it, like I got over TtT’s character sprites…

You know what? I would so hired you all. Dedicated work, awesome translation, and overall…..PERFECT :D~ Thanks for making this game possible to play in English. Waiting another month or so is fine so take your time doing what you guys need to do. God Speed and bless you all. Love and Peace (b^.^)b

I’ve played a few routes a long time ago, and honestly I had no problem with the graphics. Obviously I’ve seen better (some of the latest VNs are amazing), but EnA is quite nice. I think I even liked them better than those in TtT…

Anyways I’d better start looking for my game disc now that you guys are about done, not a clue where I’ve put it…
